Just keep in mind abt people who get fired. It's not their fault. It's the fault of the moron that hired them in the first place.
Its just the one who gets fired suffers the expense of lost income and having to move to another market. Lets hope the severance pay was generous.
So of the stations here, which one has the rep for making the most bad hiring decisions...that'll the the one one with bad management for creating a hostile work environment that runs good people off, or has no clue how to coach talent to be successful!
TV is unique among industries... they expect their talent to be already well trained. I've noticed its safer in a small market where expectations aren't so high, but the problem is the management there doesn't know how to train their fresh recruits. Its hard to grow in a small market because they'res nobody there with enough experience to teach them.
I didn't know that until I started watching small market TV. Gray's a big outfit that's in smaller markets. I'm just surprised they don't have people at the home office who coach their assets abt even the most fundamental things they don't learn at school.
Most of em sound like fifth graders who take turns reading textbook chapters aloud. It's not that hard a skill to teach, actually. It's much harder to interview because it takes wider knowledge to know what to ask. In school, they only taught us how to hold a mic! They do a lot of handout news. In bigger cities, they can fill their newstime just following the cops around.
